Chapter 55: Ending

When Qi Xuansu went to Tawanting Palace for the first time, the attitude of the imperial guards was not very friendly, and the palace manager was full of resentment towards Qi Xuansu. But how could they have imagined that in just a few days, Qi Xuansu would break into the palace and depose the emperor in front of them.

It wasn't until this moment that they realized the value of the words "Taoist messenger" and why Taoist messengers were called angels.

They still do not read history and lack understanding of the history of the Central Plains.

As early as the reign of Emperor Wu, this was the case for envoys from the Central Plains. When an envoy went to a small country, his status was higher than that of the king, and he would often kill the king on the grounds of "not accepting the kingship". There were even envoys who committed adultery with the queen mother, beheaded the king in court, pointed at the king and cursed, etc.

If the king dares to kill the envoy, or refuses to listen to the envoy, his country will be destroyed immediately. Therefore there is a famous saying: "The army has arrived, don't move, otherwise the country will be destroyed."

The strength of the Taoist sect is far greater than that of Emperor Wu's period. Although the Taoist sect is more civilized and will punish people without teaching or teaching, the power of the Taoist sect's envoys will only be greater than that of the Central Plains envoys back then, not less. Qi Xuansu was also a special envoy with plenipotentiary power, and the word "quanquan" was added in front of the envoy. This position should have been held by a great master Pingzhang, but now it was given to Qi Xuansu. One can imagine the great power in it.

Some people look at people with old eyes and think that Qi Xuansu is the chief deputy hall master, which is a big mistake. The plenipotentiary envoy, representing the Taoist sect, really means destroying the country.

The two of them watched helplessly as the emperor was taken away by the people from the temple, leaving only the two of them behind.

The two men were unambiguous and immediately knelt down to Qi Xuansu, begging Qi Xuansu for his life.

Qi Xuansu didn't look at them at all, and naturally ignored them.

Big people will only grasp the general direction and will not care about the small details.

Huangfu Xi was very discerning and gathered the guards brought by Manudancha. These guards were true to their loyalty to the emperor, but the high priests had already acquiesced in the result of the emperor being deposed. Naturally, they would not resist to the end and immediately defected to the new master. Father and daughter, who are you loyal to but not loyal to?

Huangfu Xi immediately ordered the guards to arrest the commander of the imperial army and the palace manager and interrogate them strictly.

Although both of them had good cultivation, they did not dare to resist in the face of the general situation and could only surrender.

Qi Xuansu waited there for a while, and someone from the Ixichel Temple came over.

The chief priest of the Sun Temple is an old man, and the chief priest of the Full Moon Temple is a middle-aged beautiful woman. In terms of appearance, she is not inferior to Unuratu, but she has a different style, with a gentle and graceful temperament. dignified. It seems that Ixichel has a special preference for women, especially beautiful women.

The full moon high priest saluted Qi Xuansu.

"No need to be polite." Qi Xuansu got straight to the point, "You must have received the oracle from His Highness Full Moon, right?"

"Yes." High Priest Man Yue said, "Please give me your instructions, Master Qi."

Qi Xuansu said: "Take someone to the palace and send Unuratu to the Full Moon Temple, so that she can cultivate herself well. She is not allowed to go out without orders from me and His Highness Full Moon."

"Yes." Full Moon High Priest responded, leading a group of female priests towards the palace.

After arranging the arrangements for the emperor and empress, Qi Xuansu walked in the temple area.

Because there was such a big commotion, the temple area was very quiet at this time, without the usual bustle, there were no believers, and there was no grand occasion of blood sacrifice.

Huangfu Xi walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Qi Xuansu, but was half a body behind.

Power is accountable only to its source. For Huangfu Xi, her main source of power is this Qi Zhenren.

Although Qi Xuansu doesn't like to cultivate empresses, fate has played a trick on people, and two women have already passed through his hands and become queens or empresses. However, to the Taoist sect, an empress of this level is nothing. The female headmaster is the empress in the true sense.

But now it seems that it should be difficult.

The situation is gradually becoming clearer. The seventh generation is Qingwei Zhenren versus Donghua Zhenren, and the eighth generation is most likely Li Changge versus Xuansu.

It is worth mentioning that both Qingwei Zhenren and Li Changge have married or are preparing to marry Daxuan's princess, while Donghua Zhenren and Qi Xuansu are inclined to marry into the Zhengdao Cihang lineage.

Qi Xuansu won't talk about it. There are few people who don't know about him and Zhang Yuelu.

The key is Donghua Zhenren.

Qi Xuansu left Chen Jianchou in Yujing as his "backyard". Chen Jianchou was not idle and sent a message to Qi Xuansu a few days ago.

Many people suggested to Master Donghua. Although it was very euphemistic, the meaning behind the words was the same, that Master Donghua and Master Cihang should become Taoist couples.

Although Master Donghua and Master Cihang are both very young. In an ordinary family, seventy years is rare, and it can even be said that they live only a few years. But looking at the hundreds of years of life of the Daoists, they are only sixty years old. A little more than half has passed, and there are still nearly forty years of good times left, so it’s never too late.

This has to be said about Qi Xuansu's foresight. He had proposed this idea a long time ago, because in his opinion, it was a good thing that would benefit both sides.

The first best thing is that the Zhang family will give their full support, because the Zhang family faces a problem, who will take over from the Tianshi class? Zhang Yuelu is very good. After all, he is still a generation behind him. It is not the time to take over. His cultivation and qualifications are not enough. It is impossible to jump directly from the position of chief deputy palace master to the position of deputy master master. Now the most powerful competitor for the position of Tianshi is Cihang. If Cihang loses the election, it will be even more so as compensation.

But the Zhang family didn't want to give up the position of Heavenly Master from the bottom of their hearts, and didn't want to have another Heavenly Master of a different surname, but they couldn't ignore the feelings of Cihang Zhenren, so what should they do? If Cihang Zhenren could become the wife of the Grand Master, then the dilemma would be solved. In terms of status, the wife of the Grand Master is no less than the Deputy Grand Master. When the Grand Master is unable to manage affairs, the wife of the Grand Master is the acting Grand Master. This is also a manifestation of equality in Taoism, and it can be regarded as the ancestral law. This can strengthen the unity of Zhengyi Dao.

The second best thing is that Cihang Zhenren also has many supporters. Many female Zhenren choose to support Cihang Zhenren. If Cihang Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren become Taoist partners, this part of the votes will definitely be transferred to Donghua Zhenren, uniting Zhengyi Dao and Quanzhen Dao in various senses. In addition to the Grand Master lineage, it is almost certain that Donghua Zhenren can overwhelm Qingwei Zhenren and become the seventh generation Grand Master. After all, the Daxuan Royal Family does not have the power to vote for the Grand Master.

The third best thing is that there is no better choice for the two parties. In terms of family background, both the Su family and the Pei family are second only to the three major families, and they are well matched. In terms of status, both of them are ranked in the top three of the Canzhi Zhenren, and they are evenly matched. In terms of realm cultivation, they are all immortals, and they are equally matched. No matter how you look at it, they are a match made in heaven. Moreover, Zhenren Donghua and Zhenren Cihang are unmarried, and they are both first-time marriages, so no one will suffer, and there is no problem of children. Their beloved disciples have also paved the way in advance, which is a marriage between relatives.

With so many benefits, it is no wonder that so many people are willing to promote this matter. In particular, several peers of the Heavenly Master, that is, the ancestors of the Zhang family, are very enthusiastic. In order to keep the position of the Heavenly Master in the Zhang family, they have already disregarded their status and condescended to act as matchmakers.

The key is that although Zhenren Donghua and Zhenren Cihang did not agree directly, they did not refuse it outright, and their attitudes were ambiguous.

There is also a precedent for this. The reason why Emperor Wu was able to ascend to the throne was largely related to his marriage to his cousin and the support of his aunt. The reason why Emperor Wu's elder brother failed was also related to his mother's refusal to marry the eldest princess.

If Donghua Zhenren and Cihang Zhenren rejected the good intentions of the Zhang family, it would be hard to say what kind of reaction the elders of the Zhang family would make. I am afraid that the Heavenly Master could not control it. After all, the Heavenly Master's days in the world were numbered. He did not have time to rebuild a power system, and it was impossible to overthrow the current power system, which led to the loss of the Heavenly Master's authority.

This is not a problem for the Heavenly Master alone. The same is true for the National Master and the Earth Master. As the three masters' ascension period approached, the three paths showed varying degrees of instability. The so-called iron plate Li family began to fight internally. Donghua Zhenren disobeyed the Earth Master's intention and replaced Yao Pei with Qi Xuansu. Not to mention the Zhang family, there were the most moths.

If the Zhang family turned against the enemy for their own interests and insisted on recommending Cihang Zhenren, it would be very likely that Qingwei Zhenren would get a big advantage. Therefore, Donghua Zhenren and Cihang Zhenren were under pressure and did not dare to refuse rashly at this time, and it was even very likely that they would marry.

In this regard, Qingwei Zhenren is incomparable, who told him to have a wife.

After hearing this news, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. If this really happened, should he call her mother-in-law in the future? Or call her master's wife? Or should he call her by her position, or just "Madam"? The wife of the wife of the Grand Master.

The Grand Master is the first Taoist priest, and the wife of the Grand Master is the first lady.

Who is the second Taoist priest? Strictly speaking, it is the Great Xuan Emperor.

Qi Xuansu retracted his thoughts and explained to Huangfu Xi who was following him: "After you go back, draw up a list and clean up some unstable factors. Pay attention to identification. As long as they are willing to hand over power, don't embarrass them. The main thing is stability first, and you can handle the specific details yourself."

"Yes." Huangfu Xi responded.

This is her first answer sheet, and she must answer it well.

Qi Xuansu continued to stroll in the temple area and looked around the various temples.

Huangfu Xi was not in a hurry to leave, and still followed behind Qi Xuansu, but silently prepared a draft in his mind. The prince's people and the queen's people are all over the court and the country. It is impossible to get rid of them all. If you are willing to do something, you can still keep some of them.

Qi Xuansu suddenly asked: "I want to take the opportunity of deposing the emperor and the queen, and let Tawanting abolish the blood sacrifice in the form of a formal decree. The past will not be investigated. After the decree is issued, whoever wants to perform blood sacrifice again and still does not stop will be punished. What do you think?"

Huangfu Xi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "This is a good policy, comparable to abolishing the practice of burying people alive, and the merits are immeasurable. But some temples and the ancient gods behind them may not be satisfied. Especially...especially Kukulkan."

Qi Xuansu sighed, and looked at the pyramid temples again: "Yes, the ancient gods will not be satisfied."
